On international date notation

Hi! I've noticed you make a lot of dated entries. I think the dates are somewhat vague in international context (ie. is 1-2-3 day-month-year or month-day-year) so perhaps it would be better to use e.g. 1-February-3 instead? And if I was the captain of this planet, the date would start with the most significant figure first, ie. year-month-day. :) Thanks for working for (software) freedom!

Hello! Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure what you mean. I do use the year-month-date format: https://www.fsf.org/events/20111108-fs-stockholm, for instance, means RMS is giving a speech on free software in Stockholm on 2011-11-08.

Mviinama's probably talking about wiki page titles like this:

Event:Richard Stallman/Richard Stallman (RMS) Speeches/10-8-2011 -Event 1‎

Could be August or October.

(It might also be better if "Richard Stallman" was only once in the title - but that's probably something the wiki admins would have to look at.) Ciaran 07:31, 8 October 2011 (EDT)

Ciaran's interpretation is correct, sorry for being vague. Mviinama 14:48, 10 October 2011 (EDT)
